KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s army has retreated from a neighborhood in the outskirts of Chasiv Yar, a strategically important town in the eastern Donetsk region that has been reduced to rubble under a monthslong Russian assault, a military spokesperson said Thursday. Chasiv Yar is a short distance west of Bakhmut, which was captured by Russia last year after a bitter 10-month battle. For months, Russian forces have focused on capturing Chasiv Yar, a town which occupies an elevated location. Its fall would put nearby cities in jeopardy, compromise critical Ukrainian supply routes and bring Russia closer to its stated aim of seizing the entire Donetsk region. The Ukrainian army retreated from a northeastern neighborhood in the town, Nazar Voloshyn, the spokesperson for the Khortytsia ground forces formation, told The Associated Press in a written message Thursday.

mass55th: " you'd stop making excuses for throwing out false information on President Trump..."

But there was nothing false about it -- turns out that, at a certain point in time: Trump was a Democrat, a playboy and had financial difficulties, those are facts, not "false information".

Do you have a problem dealing with facts?

Here's your original comment: "Trump was always a playboy and a Democrat, so of not much interest to me."

You said that he was always a playboy and always a Democrat. You put it all in one sentence, and described him as such.

I stand corrected. Take out the word "always" and replace it with "as I remember him".

What a load of BS spin. Strategically important? It’s a piece of dirt without a weed standing. Hilarious that Russia fights for control over a swath of rubble & dust. Ukraine interest is best served to retreat to save resources and let the Russian clowns have it for a propaganda victory.
